Life Will See You Now

Your heart jumps
As the receptionist calls your name
Doctor will see you now!

You throw down the faded magazine
And make your way to the inner sanctuary
Arraigned before the professional

Sometimes life is like that
Waiting in suspense
For whatever to happen

A sort of apprehension
Hanging in the air
A mixture of fear and excitement

Life lunges towards us
We feel we need to dodge
In case something unexpected

Hits us
